...Well I have to edit my stats now.

Huh, I thought I sent you a PM on that, but I guess the internet ate it up.

[Dwarmin]

Okay, I can about start now...is anyone else currently working on sheets, requesting a bit more time? I can easily fit more than four players.

Also make sure to update your sheets with aspirations and breaking points.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, I'll vomit up a sheet tonight. Gimmie... Oh, three hours?

No problem.

And here's Twinwolf's sheet.

You'll notice she's loaded with mental merits. For a quick summary...

~The Staff merit allows her to call on her friends+resources at the university to do tasks relating to the Computer skill, at rank 1. It's useful if she need something done, but doesn't have the time or skill to do it herself.
~The Library merits will give her a +1 bonus to those skills when she does long-term research.
~The Professional Training merit is for her continuing education in Medicine, and the friends, tutors, and allies she's made-it gives her two 'contacts', which are listed at the bottom-you can call your contacts for information based on their field, though they do not provide direct, material help. A contact isn't just one person, though your character might have someone they prefer to ask for help-it stands for a whole ring of people.
~The Fast Reflexes merit simply improves her initiative.
~The Good Time Management merit speeds up any action that takes her a good deal of time, such as research.
~Area of Expertise boosts her specialty-which I put as first aid-up to +2.

Resources is, of course, at 0 dots. It's used to purchase goods and services. If you had money you wouldn't have been attracted to the cursed advertisement.

Her Status is also 0, as 'getting famous' wasn't on her list of aspirations, and she dumped social stat. As this rises, she can improve the resources she could call on, and gets bonuses to social rolls with university students and staff members.

Hey, here's a few extra details and adjustments I came up with for Maddy.

Spoiler: Aspirations & Breaking Points (click to show/hide)

1.What is the worst thing your character has ever done?
Maddy made a habit of picking up hitchhikers. They were nice to talk to. One of the hitchhikers turned out to be a runaway and she was stopped by their parent. The hitchhiker, just a kid, begged her to drive away but Maddy handed him over. A few months later, the hitchhiker was on the front page of a newspaper having shot himself. Even though her part was undoubtedly small, the gaps in the story still drive her crazy to this day.
2.What is the worst thing your character can imagine herself doing?
When she was seriously depressed in her early twenties, she fantasied about throwing her mother's sewing machine in a river. Even at her worst she felt terrible just thinking about it.
3.What is the worst thing your character can imagine someone else doing?
Abusing a child. Maddy doesn't have any children --she never had the time and never had a boyfriend-- but loves all being around them. She couldn't picture what sort of twisted mind would do harm to a child.
4. What has the character forgotten?
Maddy is mildly interested in the occult; she reads astrological magazines and has a collection of dream catchers. She's certain that she strangely predicted well in advance that her mechanic Luschev was going to break his ankle on a slippery kitchen floor. What she tried to forget was that when she was in Luschev's apartment, she could hear the sound of the ocean underneath the floor. Telepathy is one thing... But how do you explain that?
5. What is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to the character?
She was accidentally locked in the restroom of a gas station for two days when she started driving vans. She hates dirty and confined spaces because of that.

Aspirations
* Be rewarded for kindness.
* Get a steady job back on the road.
* Surprise myself.

I also came up with another arrangement of how her mental skills could be laid out. I'm thinking of having two points in crafts with a specialty in automobiles, one point in occult (She does. Read astrological magazines), and one point in medicine. Does that sound okay?

And finally, a merit that I think would be appropriate.
Merit: Iron Stomach. After years of eating in gas stations, Maddy's tastebuds are completely ruined but she can pretty much digest anything.

Does that sound okay?

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, one point in a skill is strictly hobby level. It would work out. I will make the changes.

Also, your character has good social skills, so it's likely her merits can incorporate her allies, contacts, and friends.

[GiglameshDespair]

Expect my sheet in 20 mins at most.

[Yourmaster]

So am I accepted?

[Dwarmin]

So am I accepted?

Sure, why not!

Can you fill in the little details-the OP has been edited-so I can get a better idea how to make your character?

[GiglameshDespair]

Urgh. Having difficulty with the aspirations.

[Dwarmin]

Urgh. Having difficulty with the aspirations.

Well, don't wrack your brain too much-likely when your character realizes that God is just an unfeeling machine running the universe relentlessly as a clockwork watch and for equally inscrutable reasons, your aspirations may adjust. They are flexible and changeable as the game evolve.

The weirdest part is that is actually fairly close to what I believe in religious terms.

Spoiler: Alice Konicek (click to show/hide)

Concept: Painkiller-addicted mechanic ex-prisoner

Also, to include the mental breaking point system, you should fill in this short questionnaire!

1.What is the worst thing your character has ever done?
She once beat a man to death with a wrench when he kept creeping around her sister.
2.What is the worst thing your character can imagine himself doing?
Killing her own parents.
3.What is the worst thing your character can imagine someone else doing?
Seriously hurting her little sister.
4. What has the character forgotten?
She encountered a fae being one day. The fae decided she had pretty eyes... so he took one as a souvenir. The missing eye constantly suffers phantom pain.
5. What is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to the character?
See above.

Aspirations, which are short, summary goals in your characters life.
Support her sister through college, so she can get out of this shithole town.


2. Prelude?
Nah.

3. Select Attributes
Prioritize your attributes by applying three scores (5/4/3) to three sets of attributes (Mental/Physical/Social). Then apply the points you assigned to the sets, to each of your nine skills listed here. You begin with one point in each.

=Mental=
Intelligence: 2
Wits: 2
Resolve: 3

=Physical=
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 2
Stamina: 3

=Social=
Presence: 1
Manipulation: 1
Composure: 4

Note, setting any Attribute to five, costs two points to purchase the final point, and five is the maximum ability score you can have.

=Derived Stats= ((Just for some help when making your character.))
Defense: 2
Health: 8
Initiative: 6
Speed: 10
Willpower: 7

3. Select Skills
Again, Prioritize your attributes by applying three scores (11/7/4) to three attribute sets (Mental/Physical/Social).

Physical: 11
Mental: 7
Social: 4

4. Virtue/Vice
Vice: Wrath
Virtue: Justice

Virtues: Charity, Faith, Fortitude, Hope, Justice, Prudence, Temperance
Vices: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Wrath

[Dwarmin]

Interesting.

One question, did your character fall for the trap like the rest, or she is a Hunter-a professional monster slayer-who came to help? Even in a mercenary fashion? None of the above?

[GiglameshDespair]

Hmmm... if she had previous experience with the supernatural, she seems likely to go the hunter route, but since I doubt werewolves drop much pocket change, the mercenary aspect looks most likely.

She got mouths to feed and opiates to take, after all.
